J Temple-West Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 A very nice 1st pattern Juncker. Jan. This badge certainly gets around! I've followed this badge through (including yourself) its last four owners.At last, I think it's found a permanent home. And a good home it is..

Neil B Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Can anybody confirm that these 1st pattern badges were only accepted as stand-alone originals just a few years ago?I just seem to remember a thread at WAF that questioned these and suggested that they may have been early Assman badges.Perhaps I dreamed it though.....(I am not hinting that they are anything but original of coures!)I will search for the thread in the meantimeNeil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Hi Neil,Here's a little something on the 1st pattern Juncker Para. The side by side comparison will show why there was this confusion between the 1st pattern Juncker and Assmann badges.http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil B Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Thanks for the link John.These pre-war paras are very different from their later bretheren.The first time I came across them was from pictures of Neil Howes early Junker with the unit and name inscription.After a search,I think this is the thread I mentioned earlier:http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...FallschirmjagerThese are obviously pretty rare then-certainly more so than the wartime badges.I must say though,in purely visual terms,I prefer the second style of eagle(wouldn't say no to one of 'em however!)Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Very nice JanArne,Good article John, I was almost fooled into thinking Assman Eagle as well when I first laid my peepers on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
